Lyrics
Verse 1
Steam rises from my morning cup,
I sip alone, can’t drink you up.
Words spilled like sugar in the rain,
Memories bitter, still remain.
Verse 2
I trace the rim with trembling hands,
Every gesture you left behind stands.
I try to laugh, try to smile,
But coffee stains linger a while.
Chorus
Coffee stains on my heart,
Won’t come out.
Every memory, every start,
Leaves a doubt.
I loved you deep, I loved you true,
Now coffee stains remind me of you.
Bridge
If mornings could forget,
Maybe I could too.
Final Chorus
Coffee stains on my heart,
Fading slow.
Every sip, every tear,
Still lets you show.
Outro
Coffee stains on my heart…
